Parco Monte Barro (Valmadrera - Lecco)

Popis

A beautiful walk which is not too long. The only difficulcy is that it might be steep. However, the park gives enough opportunities to make the walk less step or shorter.

We started at the trainstation of Valmadrera. Head to the backside of the station along the former mainstreet. At the TNToffice you enter the terrain and start to walk along the stream (it seems a bit hidden, but this is how to go). After about 100 - 200m you will find the tracks. Follow the signs to Fae Basso where we went to the right in the direction of Parco Arcaelogico. From there continue up to Vetta, which is the top of Monte Barro. It took us about 2 hours to get up there while walking trough a diversity of landscapes (woods and water to more rocky areas). The last 15 - 30 minutes are in a rocky area.

After a pranzo al sacco on the top of Monte Barro we headed back to Lecco via Sasso della Vecchia, Pian Sciresa and San Michele. After 1,5h we were back at Lecco Centro.

We did this walk on a partly cloudy (and some rain showers) day in the beginning of May 2013.
